Writing well, is one of the very hardest things to do. Many gun writers have either the ability to write or a clear understanding of the subject matter, rarely both. Like great baseball hitters and batting coaches. Few great batting coaches were great hitters, they had an understanding of what to do but not the ability to do it themselves. If they had a great technical background would they be writing or working for one of the gun makers?
Nick Sisley is a light weight in the tech side and that is all right. He is recounting "facts" fed to him by the maker. Plus you need to understand that editing can destroy the best written line in just a few seconds. Stories are needed to fit a space and the submitted story can get trimmed back to the point that the writer does not see how his article can be the end result.
The ability to clearly explain things is no longer taught in our schools. Very little is really taught in schools these days. They teach to the test, so test scores look good. Many Vo.Tech. schools are closing. One of my sons has not had homework in almost a month because they have been reviewing for the "test". What a joke.
Jim I agree with your points. Common sense is just about gone in many things these days.
